MANSFIELD – The Richland County Sheriff's Office is asking the community to help identify a man who robbed Stack's Deli at gunpoint Wednesday.

A security video shows the man dressed in a white Aeropostale hooded sweatshirt, dark Aeropostale ball cap and dark jeans entering the drive-thru at 4:03 p.m. The man covers his face using a white handkerchief, the video shows.

The man points a handgun at owner Chris Stackhouse, forcing him to the ground. Stackhouse told detectives he believed the man to be Hispanic, because he spoke broken English, Maj. Joe Masi said.

Detectives are asking residents to report any tips about the man's identity or whereabouts by calling 419-774-5610 or 419-774-5611.

The man took cash from the money drawer, being careful to cover his hand with his sleeve before touching anything, and fled. Deputies were unsure whether the man was on foot or used a vehicle to get away, Cpt. Jimmy Sweat previously said.

The incident temporarily caused a lockdown at Madison Schools, but that was quickly lifted.
